I am learning linux by jumping in, and god has it been frustrating. I have been working for a week to get RClone working and have made very little progress. Yes I can see, and am connected to, my Backblaze B2 bucket but anything else other than "ls" fails. I can list my files and that's it. please help, all I want is a reliable sync for my files.
Thank you.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Set up? not understanding the directions? I really don't know.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
jason@LinuxBox:~$ rclone version
rclone v1.65.0
os/version: ubuntu 23.10 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.5.0-13-generic (x86_64)

jason@LinuxBox:~$
each linux user has its own config file.
and when running as sudo, rclone is run as root user, rcone expect to find the config file in its correct location https://rclone.org/docs/#config-config-file
else hardcode the location using --config=/home/jason/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
So, "rclone check" runs and finds files missing at both ends. However, a manual spot check sees every single one of the checked files in place.
Could this have something to do with it?

Note, these are my music files, they started on a Mac and are now on an Ubuntu machine in a ZFS pool. If this is infact the problem, what do I do about it?
as i mentioned, if you run rclone mount as root user, then make sure rclone can find the config file.
need to put the config file in its correct location /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
or hardcode location using --config.
i shared a link to the rclone docs, did you read it?
Yes, I am not trying to be difficult bit I followed the docs and did what it said to hardcode the config file, long before I came to this forum, where it can be found and I believe the linked commands and results above show that.
